...love, comradeship and betrayal. Concubine (cut by about 15 minutes for its U.S. release but still a rich and savory 2 1/2- hour banquet) hopscotches from the warlord era to the Japanese occupation to the Cultural Revolution and beyond. And under each regime, the artist is a pampered slave: flogged by his teachers, adored by his audience, toyed with by the elite, denounced by Mao's vindictive masses -- and always asked to do that showstopper, the fable about the king and his faithful concubine, just one more time...

...another avenue to the way, the truth and the life. The African Heritage Study Bible (Winston-Derek Publishers; $39.95) keeps to the King James Version and adds scholarly chapters on such topics as ancient Black Christians and "African Edenic Women and the Scriptures."

Last year Elders told an abortion-rights rally that abortion foes need to get over their "love affair with the fetus."

Poverty has forced many of its young people to prostitute themselves in the fleshpots of the West. In Nepal's Himalayan hill villages, some 7,000 adolescents are sold each year to slave traders for the sweat-drenched brothels of Bombay. In Brazil an estimated 25,000 girls have been forced into prostitution in remote Amazon mining camps. In Italy, Nigerian streetwalkers are flooding into Bologna, while in Belgium, the neon-bright windows of Antwerp's red-light district are filled with Ghanaians...
